We have two kids at Success Academy and we LOVE it. Our older child has been with Success for 6 years and now attends East Flatbush Middle School and our younger for 3 years at Cobble Hill. At the elementary school level, we really like their curriculum- they do project based learning on different topics like bridges (they build bridges with blocks, do science research projects on types of bridges, write journals as people who would have worked on the bridge, walk across the Brooklyn bridge, etc). The students went on 2 field trips a month, start learning chess in kindergarten, and have recess everyday. The kids also have art, music, and phys ed each week. In middle school, the students have trimesters and electives where they can take classes like debate, photography, theater and more. The teachers at both schools are really warm and they challenge each student to reach their full potential. The staff also provide their phone numbers and respond to any calls or texts within 24 hours.
The pandemic has been tough of course, but the network decided early to go fully remote which made planning easier. The staff at both schools has done an amazing job of engaging my kids remotely and planning ways for kids to still get to know each other and make friends.
